MAJORS HANDLE THE WARRIORS

JACKSON-Will Edwards battled through six innings and picked up his first win in conference as the Majors downed Hendrix 12-3 on Friday. 

Hendrix struck first, capitalizing on a walk and a two-out double to score the game's first run. The Majors didn't let that lead last long. Isaac Glenn and Samuel Doucet each singled, the latter scoring Stephen Gates as the Majors used some two-out thunder to knot the game at 1. 

Edwards would settle in after the first and got through the next two innings in short order. Doucet struck again in the third, doubling home Keith Shumaker to give the Majors a lead at 2-1. The Warriors tied it in the fifth, using a run scoring ground out to tie the game. Millsaps would put Edwards in line for the win with two in the bottom half of the inning. A double steal forced a throwing error by catcher Seth Mobley scoring one and setting up Glenn for an rbi on the next pitch. It would be a lead the Majors would never relinquish. 

The Majors blew the doors off the game in the seventh, hanging a crooked six-spot on the board. After the Warriors had cut the game to 4-3, the Majors put together a six-hit inning that featured a parade of Warrior pitchers. Shumaker, Wes Perkins, Glenn and Doucet all singled, as did Will Lawrence. When the dust settled it was 10-3. 

Perkins put an exclamation point on this one with a two-run homer in the eighth. The Majors have won 7 of 8 and are 1-0 in conference play. The two teams meet again tomorrow at 2pm. Please note that Sunday's game has moved to noon in case of rain and daylight savings takes place on early Sunday morning.
